175+ declare "No Attack on Iran!" At 5:00 pm on Thursday, July 10th, people started to gather on the corner of 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue. Demonstrators each put a sign or large sticker saying, "No Attack on Iran!" on our clothing, even if they were already wearing T-shirts calling for impeachment or an end to the war in Iraq. Excitement mounted as more and more people arrived and passersby looked, stopped, asked questions and, in some cases, joined them to go inside to freeze. At 5:25, the demonstrators entered Grand Central Station. Over 175 of us walked around the main concourse. Then at exactly 5:40, as marked by the clocks in the center of the station, demonstrators froze, like statues, wherever they were. They stayed that way, completely frozen, until 5:45. People in the station stopped and stared and took pictures. Some tried to talk to the demonstrators. At exactly 5:45 they broke into a loud, echoing and long chant of "No Attack on Iran!" A significant number of the commuters clapped and joined in the chant. A left with a surge of enthusiasm that many agreed hadn't been felt at a demonstration for a long time.

This successful action, initiated by World Can't Wait, became a joint effort of many organizations. Laura Flanders sent her GRIT TV crew who interviewed several people, and will be airing the footage on her show on www.airamerica.com … Those who want to participate should email wcwfreeze@gmail.com to sign up.]
